In India, more than 150,000 people are killed each year in traffic accidents, according to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways 2016 report. That’s about 400 fatalities a day, which is far higher than in developed auto markets like the US which, in 2016, logged about 40,000 a ... Read More
Digital rock physics (DRP) is an emerging field where a rock sample is imaged, relevant physical processes are simulated numerically on the digital rock sample, and the numerical solutions are used for understanding and interpreting the rock in different in-situ conditions. The use of ... Read More
In some power electronic applications the available coolant temperature is close to maximum and controlling operating temperature becomes more challenging, for which new thermal management schemes must be considered. COMSOL predicts the 3D fluid behavior and 3D temperature distribution ... Read More
Flow, concentration and temperature fields are studied with numerical and experimental methods inside a scaled-up fuel cell anode channel model. The low aspect ratio channel has a porous medium as the inferior wall where a mixing of different pH solutions occurs. Chromatic change of ... Read More
High power consumption chips have already become a major challenge for modern processors causing low thermal performances. Existing thermal solutions are not able to solve these high temperature issues efficiently. Two-phase cooling devices such as heat pipes and vapor chambers have ... Read More
Friction stir welding (FSW) is a revolutionary technique for joining high-strength materials, offering superior mechanical properties compared to traditional fusion welding methods. However, achieving optimal surface quality in FSW of Inconel 718 is challenging due to the material's ... Read More
Microfluidic technologies can enable laboratory processes to be packaged in miniaturized and automated systems, allowing these processes to be performed with hand-held devices outside a laboratory environment. The practical usefulness of these “lab on a chip” systems has often been ... Read More
Printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is a key component in many energy and power systems, such as concentrated solar power plant, nuclear power plant, aircraft, etc. In this paper, the thermal and fluid performance of a lab-scale PCHE is analyzed using COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation ... Read More
An app built with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software allows both expert and beginner users to carry out parametric simulations thanks to flexible and user-friendly customized interfaces. Many people, with or without expertise in numerical analysis, can now access, exploit and share ... Read More
Ice flows because at low stresses it deforms viscously; the viscosity depends upon the stress. The lubrication approximation (LA) states shear stress is proportional to the product of the ice depth and surface slope. At ice divides the slope and shear stress are zero meaning the ... Read More
